Not Going Down Lyrics - Delicious Surprise - Jo Dee Messina

I woke up today with a headache 

More bills to pay than a corporation 

Hey, when will it end? 

My mirror says I could use a break 

An easy day, some appreciation 

Hey how 'bout a friend? 

When days like these start to fall in on me 

I gotta face my reflection and say, hey, hey 

Been burned by the fire, been stuck under water 

Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around 

Been tossed like a free throw, knocked out when the wind blows 

Pull the curtain on the hurtin' 'cause I'm not going down 

I'm not going down 

Inside of me is the only 

Highway that leads to a true freedom 

Holding out it's hand 

I close my eyes and it's all right 

The sun will shine on a new horizon 

Just around the bend 

Days like these bring out the strength in me 

So I can face my reflection and say, hey, hey, hey 

Been burned by the fire, been stuck under water 

Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around 

Been tossed like a free throw, knocked out when the wind blows 

Pull the curtain on the hurtin' 'cause I'm not going down 

I'm not going down 

I still get dizzy and frantic, lonely and panicked 

But next time I won't let it beat me, no 

I can see clearly, I know who I am 

And that's how I know I've begun living 

Been burned by the fire, been stuck under water 

Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around 

Been tossed like a free throw, knocked out when the wind blows 

Pull the curtain on the hurtin' I'm not going down 

Been burned by the fire, been stuck under water 

Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around 

Been tossed like a free throw, knocked out when the wind blows 

Pull the curtain on the hurtin' I'm not going down
